Bradford White 415-53359-00 Icon Gas Control Natural Gas

Bradford White 415-53359-00 For gas water heaters in particular, Icon Gas Control  Natural is an essential part of natural gas-powered heating systems. To maintain the safe and effective operation of your water heater, it serves as the gatekeeper, controlling the passage of natural gas to the burner. The water heater's thermostat sends signals to this gas control, which then operates accordingly. When the water temperature drops below the predetermined level, the thermostat sends a signal to the gas control. After that, the control opens a valve, letting just the right amount of natural gas flow to the burner, lighting it, and warming the water. The gas control closes the valve to stop the flow of gas and the thermostat sends another signal when the water reaches the required temperature.
